True enough. In fact, conventional dragsters are engineered to break just in front of the engine in a collision. Plus, weight transfer is accomplished via the chassis bowing.

Re: PESO: please do not disturb
Thanks Dan. I don't think there is a way to attract dragonflies and damselflies as these are carnivorous. I just sit still so they get used to my presence. There is always a period they land to rest or eat. My main problem always (as with butterflies) is to have the right lens, either long tele or macro 90 mm. I'm now trying with a Caruba macro extender tube on the K1 with a 70-200 lens but this limits the maximum focus distance. Henk Op 2019-05-31 om 15:38 schreef Daniel J. Matyola: WOW! Great catch, and well rendered. I love the sharp focus on the sitting damselflies contrasted with the motion blur of the wings on the flying one. I saw a few dragonflies or damselflies in the garden around our pool this weekend, but they were too flighty, and I could never get close enough even to attempt a shot. Is there any way to lure them to alight, like one can sometimes lure butterflies to alight on a piece of fruit or some sweetened water?

Re: A gallery for the motorheads
A quarter mile at a time is way too much if it doesn’t have a steel space frame and roll cage. Accelerating from a standstill with some 800 horsepower and grippy slicks will twist a stock frame like a pretzel. Figures the dragster is his as well. Another killer. A front driver position in that powerful a machine makes it almost impossible to drive as it’s hard to tell when it starts to get out of shape.

Be candid about how you present the photos in various settings though. I guess you know that nest photography is a controversial issue. From a quick web search it seems less so in the US than here, but in this globalised day and age... :-) I've never heard anything about it in general. I guess it's considered rude to pester them in their nest. These were photographed from my living room. If jays were any more common around here, they'd be pigeons, particularly obnoxiously loud pigeons. In the Nordic countries it is generally discouraged. In Finland, it's illegal without a license for a particular project, punishable by fines based on publised photos. In Norway and Sweden, it's more about mob justice. There is a very large overlap between nature photographers and birdwatchers in general, so birds are in particular focus for ethical issues (which currently extends to a massive opposition to wind turbines, btw).

Re: PESO: please do not disturb
WOW! Great catch, and well rendered. I love the sharp focus on the sitting damselflies contrasted with the motion blur of the wings on the flying one. I saw a few dragonflies or damselflies in the garden around our pool this weekend, but they were too flighty, and I could never get close enough even to attempt a shot. Is there any way to lure them to alight, like one can sometimes lure butterflies to alight on a piece of fruit or some sweetened water?

Re: PESO feeding time
Interesting comments, Jostein. In the US there are many nest cameras, especially those of the nests of eagles and other raptors. I have never seen the kind of negative reaction of which you speak, nor have I head of any laws such as you describe. It sounds like the Scandinavians feel about their birds the way Americans feel about whales.

Re: PESO: please do not disturb
Thanks Paul and Alan. As for most nature photography, both patience and luck are needed. I'm now pursuing some more of the in-flight catch of dragonflies and damselflies.

Re: PESO feeding time
That is a very interesting project, and the results are fascinating and very well captured. Fine work indeed.

Re: PESO feeding time
Looks like a fun project, Larry. Nest photography is an amazing way to learn about bird behaviour. Be candid about how you present the photos in various settings though. I guess you know that nest photography is a controversial issue. From a quick web search it seems less so in the US than here, but in this globalised day and age... :-) In the Nordic countries it is generally discouraged. In Finland, it's illegal without a license for a particular project, punishable by fines based on publised photos. In Norway and Sweden, it's more about mob justice. There is a very large overlap between nature photographers and birdwatchers in general, so birds are in particular focus for ethical issues (which currently extends to a massive opposition to wind turbines, btw).
